modern manual brakes

[andrewb70]

I have had the worst issues with the 4WDB on my 79TA. Literally, if it wasn't for those damn brakes, I probably wouldn't have parked the car so long ago. Before I get the car on the road again, I've basically decided to rip the original system out(yes, it pisses me off that much) even if I have to go with a simple solution that'll fit behind the stock 15inch snow flakes until I can afford a C5 upgrade. I figured a manual system, if I could piece one together that wasn't high dollar, would be a cheaper and less prone to issues route. So long as modern manual brakes worked well which is what I had no clue on.

Thanks guys.

Keep in mind that if you are using a system that needs to go inside a 15 inch wheel your braking effort will be much higher. My system uses large, C6 Z06 calipers and 14" rotors. I am using a 15/16" bore MC and my pedal ratio is about 6:1.
